"oops!"

Early in the morning, before daybreak, Li Jiandang got up and finally remembered that he had forgotten to water the mushrooms last night! He couldn't delay this work, or the mushrooms would die, so he ran to the field to water them.

After a week of such a busy schedule, Li Jiandang finally couldn't stand it anymore. He found the old village chief and quit his job delivering vegetables. "I have to take care of the mushrooms, weed the crops, do the laundry, cook, and take care of my mother. I don't have that much time."

But where can the old village chief find someone to pick him up in such a short time? !

You know, every household planted a lot of vegetables this year, and vegetables are prone to weeds, and they need to be watered from time to time. There is a lot of work to do, so who in the village can be idle? If he quits, he can't find anyone to take over his job.

"How about you find someone to share the work with you. You deliver one day, he delivers one day, that way you can be busy?" The old village chief suggested, "That way you can each earn half the salary."

He also receives a salary from the vegetable wholesale company, which has nothing to do with the profit sharing.

Li Jiandang thought this was a good idea as it would allow him to make money without delaying his work in the fields.

He smiled, "Okay! I'll go find someone."

He went to look for families with more able-bodied laborers. But families with more able-bodied laborers also had more land, so after searching for a long time, no one was willing to take the job.

Just when he was at a loss, Zhang Shengdi's father came and said, "Jiandang, I heard that you want to find someone to deliver food?"

"Yes!" Li Jiandang thought he wanted to go, and was a little embarrassed. "You are old, and you have to carry the food up and down. It's not suitable for you. It will be bad if you hurt your waist."

"It's not me! It's my boy." Zhang's father had seven daughters and one son, and this son was spoiled since he was young.

Living in the same village, Li Jiandang knew the boy's character very well, "He can't move."

"Isn't it just vegetables? A basket of vegetables weighs only about 100 pounds. How could he not be able to move it?" Zhang's father felt that Jiandang was underestimating him and insisted on taking him home to have a look.

Li Jiandang really couldn't find anyone, so he let the other party drag him to Zhang's house.

As soon as Mr. Zhang entered the door, he called his son out and asked him to show off his skills.

Zhang Jinbao also wanted to find a job recently. Since his seven sisters stopped sending money home, life at home has become much more difficult. His father always complained about his mother, and the two of them always quarreled, which annoyed him a lot.

Some of his peers in the village went to school, and some went to work in other places. He originally wanted to work in a brewery, but his family didn't have that much money to invest. He didn't have the opportunity to work in a brewery.

He also wanted to go out to work, but he was worried about being cheated if he went to work in the south alone.

Now that there is a job right at his doorstep, he wants to give it a try.

He really followed his father's instructions and moved the family's grain. A bag of corn weighed at least 100 kilograms. Seeing how effortless he looked, Li Jiandang thought it was feasible. "Try to do it for a few days. If you can do it, I'll let you do it permanently. If not, I'll find someone else."

Zhang Jinbao was so happy that his face was full of smiles, "Thank you, uncle!"

Li Jiandang was worried about Zhang Jinbao, so he took him with him to deliver the vegetables.

As they were loading the food into the car, he was a little curious, "Why did you want to work?"

You know, the Zhang family treasured their son very much and never let him work. During the busy farming season, he never went to the fields. Now they actually let him go out to work.

Zhang Jinbao sighed, "I can't help it. My seven sisters are worthless and none of them come home. I have no money, so I have to earn it myself."

Li Jiandang heard his tone, as if his seven sisters should make money for him to spend. He knew that the Zhang family's old couple had problems with their education, so he didn't think he could correct him with just a few words. He just reminded him, "After the goods are delivered, ask the other party to check and sign. If the goods are missing, we will have to compensate."

He was not worried that Zhang Jinbao would steal vegetables, after all, vegetables were the most abundant thing in the countryside. He was worried that Zhang Jinbao was young and didn't know how to do things, so he wouldn't even know that his things were stolen.

Zhang Jinbao nodded, "Don't worry. I will do my job well."

In fact, he wanted to work because he was too bored at home. He wanted to go to the city to have some fun. The family had used their money to invest in the brewery and build a greenhouse, so there was no money for him to spend, so he had to find a way out on his own.

Li Jiandang's concerns are justified.

At first, he accompanied Zhang Jinbao to deliver goods, and everything went smoothly. When he was asked to deliver goods by himself, a basket of vegetables was missing on the first day, a basket of eggplants was missing on the second day, and a basket of eggs was missing on the third day. No matter how stupid he was, he found that something was wrong. Then he asked his father to drive, and he hid in the back car and found a group of thieves stealing things.

When the other party reached out to steal something, he grabbed his hand and said, "Dad! Send him to the police station!"

When a dozen thieves saw their accomplice being caught, they climbed onto the car and tried to pull away Zhang Jinbao's hand that was holding his accomplice. Zhang Jinbao felt the pain and really let go.

When Zhang's father stopped the car, the vegetables were scattered all over the ground. The thief had already fled. He was anxious and angry.

Zhang's father wanted to persuade his son not to deliver food anymore. The money he earned was not enough to pay for the loss!

Zhang Jinbao insisted on delivering the food, "Let's tie the carriage tightly later! Use a net on top!"

After returning home, Zhang's father bought a very thick net and tied it to the back of the car. The thief could not get it untied even if he jumped on it.

After Zhang Xiuhua came back, she was a little speechless when she learned that her eldest brother and Zhang Jinbao divided the work of delivering food. "So he can rely on himself too?"

Li Jianguo sighed, "I could suck my sisters before, but his seven sisters got married or ran away, none of them came home, so he had nowhere to suck, so of course he could only rely on himself!"

Zhang Xiuhua was curious, "Is there still quarreling in his family now?"

Since Zhang's mother made money from bean sprouts, her voice became louder than before and she no longer tolerated being bullied. You could always hear noisy noises in their house.

Li Jianguo really knew, "If there is no money, there will be quarrels. But now Zhang Jinbao can make money, and the family is better."

Zhang Xiuhua nodded. To be honest, she didn't sympathize with this family at all. She had never seen a family mistreat their daughter like this.

Li Jianguo told her a story, "My eldest sister-in-law called me a few days ago. Hongwu's wife gave birth to a big fat boy. She was so happy."

Zhang Xiuhua also smiled. Having a baby was a happy event after all, but she was worried about another thing. "Then how should we give gifts?"

Usually, gifts are given at the full moon banquet, but Hongwu's family is in the south now, so they definitely can't go. Should we wait for them to come back?

Li Jianguo smiled and said, "Wait for the kids to come back and prepare a banquet. I'll send it then."

"The child is only eight months old. How can the child bear it if he travels thousands of miles by train from the south to the north?!" Zhang Xiuhua disagrees with this. "Anyway, I won't let a talented child go through this. I'd rather not collect that little bit of full-month fee."

Li Jianguo sighed, "It's up to our elder brother and sister-in-law to decide. We can't do anything about it. We just have to do whatever they do."

There was nothing Zhang Xiuhua could do.

The two were chatting when Liu Shujun came over from outside. Seeing this, Zhang Xiuhua walked over to support her and asked, "Can you walk this far now?"

I could only walk a few steps before, but now I can actually walk from my eldest brother’s house to their house. That’s rapid progress.

Liu Shujun's speech was still a little unclear, but if you listened carefully, you could still understand. She nodded mechanically, "It's OK. I walk every day."

Li Jianguo came over to support her.

Liu Shujun asked him, "You took me to the hospital for a checkup yesterday. What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said that you are doing better now, and your legs and feet are much better." Li Jianguo pulled a stiff smile, "The doctor asked you to exercise more. Eat something good, and stop eating pickles."

"Good!" Liu Shujun sat on a chair to bask in the sun and asked Zhang Xiuhua, "When will Jidong come back?"

Zhang Xiuhua was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that she would ask Jidong. She smiled and said, "Soon. July will be back."

Seeing that his mother was staring outside with her eyes motionless, Li Jianguo asked her if she wanted to go to the capital for fun during the May Day holiday.

Zhang Xiuhua always felt that Li Jianguo was weird. Her mother-in-law was so old and couldn't even walk steadily, but she was allowed to go to the capital? During the May Day holiday, the capital was full of people. What if someone accidentally bumped into her?

Liu Shujun was really tempted, but - "I'm old, my legs and feet are not good, it will cause trouble for you."

"No trouble. We are going to the capital to see the birth of a talented child." Li Jianguo said with a smile, "This is your second grandson. Don't you want to meet him?"

Liu Shujun was partial, but her IQ was not a problem. She said with a big tongue, "The baby will be born in August. I'll go on May 1st, but Zhenzhen won't be able to give birth, right?"

"It's okay, go ahead and let the doctor take a look. Maybe he can cure your mouth and you can speak more fluently in the future." Li Jianguo could understand his mother's words, but no one else could. She was very lonely in the village. Li Jianguo wanted to help her get better.

Liu Shujun was really moved, "What about your orchard?"

"It's okay. The gala apples and blueberries haven't borne fruit yet, so we don't have to worry about them being stolen." Li Jianguo added, "I'll ask Aunt Wang to help take care of them for a few days."

Liu Shujun nodded to indicate that she understood.
